Summer in Color

WORDS BY MARINA SHAPIRO-ELBERT

Whether you are a beach lover enjoying the creamy sands and turquoise sea waters or a poolside junkie soaking up the sun with a good book and a cool drink by the pool, you may notice the vibrant scheme of colors summer season has to offer. From red berries, pink lemonade and green grass to marvelous fiery purple sunsets and warm starry nights, the inspiration for color choices is endless.

Summer is the perfect season to make a statement by incorporating bold colors into your wardrobe or transforming the vibe of your home / office space. First on our list is delicious hot pink!

PINK is the color of joy, creativity, kindness and compassion. It is the color that brings the feeling of being at home with yourself and all life, a familiar friendly place deep within everyone’s heart where there are no worries, you are never lonely, you have everything in life that you ever wanted. Pink is calming to the mind and can be an uplifting catalyst for your emotional state. Avoid pink when you feel vulnerable, insecure, are giving more than receiving.

Our next choice this season is YELLOW. The sunshine color of yellow brings a happy, fun, and positive vibe that has the power to lift everyone around you instantly. If you wear yellow often you are vivacious, creative, always laughing, and undeniably magnetic exciting person. This color encourages intelligence, so you can plan to wear it on work-heavy days when you need that extra boost of inspiration and pump. Yellow also improves concentration which is the reason we see this color used on legal notepads and highlighters. However, remember not to overdo it, as too much of anything leads to overall imbalance.

Last but not least on our summer list is WHITE. White is the color of cleanliness, purity, safety, strength and neutrality. Wearing white can help you feel more at peace and conveys a well-balanced optimistic personality. White is also the color of minimalism and perfection. It is best used in combination with other colors and promotes positivity and completion.

Learning the language of colors can help you understand why you prefer certain colors over others in your wardrobe, home décor or web design and use them effectively in your daily life. Dare to shine in your color choices and wear your joy on your sleeve!
